I hopped on the 101, from the Cahuenga pass on-ramp going north, on a Sunday morning recently, on my Triumph 900. Still procrastinating from the "Gray" days I rebelled and didn't get tags, hence no plates, hence no insurance, accidentally no driver's license on my person...About a mile into my 5 mile trip to church (literally) at 9 a.m.ish, I get lit up...Now, I am in the slow lane on the 101 at 9 a.m....The mean speed is 80-90 mph...I AM IN THE SLOW LANE to stay alive.
This guy pulls me over and gets me for everything under the sun...No license plate, no insurance, no proof of I.D. and as the cop told me 72 mph in a 55 zone...DAMN!!!
Ticket reads 900+ dollars contingent on my proving proof of insurance, if I cannot it will be more
I don't want to be a whiner...But 72 mph in the slow lane as I am being passed regularly, on a Sunday morning at 9ish?...I was as nice as pie to this guy...I mean sticky "yes sir, no sir" sweet, which makes it all that more painful.
I am wondering if my "Bush Cheney" sticker on the back of my helmet perturbed him? (given the CHP union are big lib backers)

Sounds like a case of instant karma to me.
What more should you expect when you are riding an unregistered vehicle on the streets. Not having a tag is a pretty good way to get any cops attention no matter what their political affilliation might be.
Why am I not surprised that you are using your 'we conservatives are being oppressed by the liberals' excuse to cover for your own stupidity once again?
